Metabolite Identification
Common NameEpisterol
DescriptionEpisterol belongs to the class of organic compounds known as ergosterols and derivatives. These are steroids containing ergosta-5,7,22-trien-3beta-ol or a derivative thereof, which is based on the 3beta-hydroxylated ergostane skeleton. Thus, episterol is considered to be a sterol lipid molecule. Episterol is involved in the biosynthesis of steroids. Episterol is converted from 24-methylenelophenol. Episterol is converted into 5-dehydroepisterol by lathosterol oxidase (EC 1.14.21.6).
